Minimum of 7 campers are needed to fill each week. If a week does not fill all deposits will be returned in full. Campers do not need to be experienced with horses though they must be comfortable being around them.
Each day is filled with horses and all the activities that go along with having and riding horses! Activities include unmounted time learning about tack, grooming, parts of the horse, stall care, farm care, ring set ups, different feeds and other equine related knowledge. Riding portions will focus on safety and learning various gaits, movements and jumping for those who are ready for over fences. Campers may ride in groups and get individual one on one time with instructor. This can vary depending on the age and level of campers each week.
Farm provides campers with unlimited water, helmets (if camper has their own it is encouraged they use that one), gear for the horses/ponies, supplies, snacks each day and a pizza party on Friday for lunch. Campers supply a packed lunch for each day, except Friday. Approximately two weeks before your camp week you will receive an email with a tentative outline of the week and a complete list of what your camper will need for the week. Generally though each camper will need the following; boots with rubber heel for riding, sneakers, pants/breeches for riding, shorts for the really warm days when not in the saddle, short sleeve or sun shirts, sunscreen and anything else he/she will like for comfort. Any camper who will would like to bring their own horse/pony is welcomed to do so. All equines would need proof of all vaccinations and current negative coggins. Day paddocks will be available at $25/day or $100 per week. Day paddocks with overnight stalls is $40/each day and night or $180 for the week (bedding included).
We are very excited to offer equine camps for the youth right here in Carlisle
